Three posts, across the fediverse, point to exactly the same link, with the same post text.

I would just love it if wefwef could collapse these into one (“Seen in 3 communities”) and then collapse the comments into one mega-thread.

    There is quite a chance for this to backfire isn’t there? For example if user 1 posts an article with the title “This is bad oh no what do you think” and user 2 with “This is what happened […]”, there shouldn’t really be a merge just cause it’s an identical link imo

      It lists all the different versions / communities below the post, so I don’t really think this is much of an issue.
